title: [Therapy of human thoracic actinomycosis].
abstract: 9 cases of thoracic actinomycosis are analysed with regard to their antibiotic therapy. On account of sensibility of the bacteria and the pharmaco-kinetics of the antibiotics the therapy with Ampicillin in high doses is recommended for relatively short time. This therapy should be performed in any case before surgical measures.
